21-Feb-2009 – Hi, I am Valery Parshukov from Novosibirsk city. My friend Vladimir Verkholanctev and me traveled from Vladivostok to Novosibirsk by cars. I didn't plan to visit this confluence. But due to warm hospitality of Shestopalov family in Khabarovsk, due to technical support of Dmitry and due to wonderful cake, which was prepared by Veronika during “all the night”, I dared to do it. By launch time we got to Londoko settlement. It was frost –23°C. The confluence is located in 700 metres from federal motorway Chita-Khabarovsk. The way to the CP passed onto frozen boggy plain, snow-covered Bira river and its branch. Yes, it was much easier by skis. When I returned I had to change clothes and squeeze T-shirt.
